The first score, an account of the foundation of The Beaumont Press. Second hand or out of print title Author: Beaumont, Cyril W. Published: 1980 Not strictly a dance book, but a fascinating pendant to the life and work of the great British dance writer, critic, and publisher, Cyril Beaumont. The book describes how he set up his own private press, to afford early twentieth century British writers 'an opportunity of having their works published in a choice form during their lifetime'. Beaumont's adventures with eccentric authors, illustrators, and clients make for fascinating and sometimes hilarious reading. This is the 1980 reprint of the 1927 original. A very good copy in partially faded dust wrapper. |
